Art Unraveled Shopping Extravaganza - getting ready

Less than 3 weeks to the fantastic, premier art retreat of 2012 on July 30 - Aug. 7 at the Embassy Suites in Scottsdale: ART UNRAVELED. I'm going to be a vendor again at the Saturday Shopping Extravaganza and thought I'd highlight the vintage suitcases I'll have for sale. Last year, I only had 2-3 but this year, I think I have 7-8. Some are already at the storage room in Scottsdale but these 3 are in the garage and ready to go. That top one is an old Kenmore sewing machine case.

I'll be using the suitcases for display during the sale but will also have them available for sale for $5-$15 each. I'm just hoping I can get everything on the 3 tables I have reserved in the ballroom. I'll have fabric bundles, vintage Harrison Fischer American Beauties prints, vintage paper packets, small baggies of jewels, vintage books for $4 each, and a whole boatload of ephemera for making mixed media art.

This is a photo of my inchies for the swap that Jane Eileen has organized for AU. It's the first time I've made inchies and I found it to be quite fun. I'll be putting them in the mail to Jane Eileen on Monday.
